The EDCO SK-14-11H is a 14-inch downcut walk-behind concrete saw built for the cuts that make up most slab repair, joint cutting, and utility work on commercial and industrial projects. The 11 HP Honda gasoline configuration (part 45600D / 5600D) is the production-spec power band for a 14-inch walk-behind - enough engine to push the blade through cured concrete or asphalt without bogging down.
Best for
- Expansion and control joint cutting on new concrete slabs.
- Slab repair cuts for patches, trench backfill, and damaged-section removal.
- Utility and trench cuts for plumbing, electrical, and conduit work in slab.
- Small to mid-size asphalt cuts with the appropriate diamond blade.
- Concrete contractor and municipal crews who need a reliable single-operator saw without the cost of a self-propelled unit.
Why downcut
Concrete cutters on the trade boards consistently make the same point: downcut walk-behinds give a cleaner top edge on the cut and throw debris in front of the operator, which is the right setup for joint cutting on green concrete and for most visible slab work. Upcut saws have their place on demolition cuts and on existing aggregate that needs to be cleared upward; downcut is the default for finishing-quality work.

Frequently asked questions
What is the EDCO SK-14-11H walk-behind saw used for?
A 14-inch downcut walk-behind for expansion joints, slab repairs, utility cuts, and small-area cuts in concrete and asphalt. Downcut pulls debris forward and gives a cleaner top edge.
How deep does it cut?
A 14-inch blade gives roughly 4.5-4.75 inches of cut depth depending on flange and blade configuration - enough for most slab and utility work.
Is it gas or electric?
Gasoline. The 5600D / 45600D is the 11 HP Honda configuration.
What is the difference between downcut and upcut?
Downcut throws debris in front of the operator and gives a cleaner top edge - the standard for joint cutting and finished slab work. Upcut throws debris behind and is used on demolition cuts.
Can it cut asphalt?
Yes with the right asphalt diamond blade. Always match the blade to the material being cut.
